AIYIMA A80 Bluetooth Stereo DAC Amplifier TPA3255,PFFB & Digital VU Meter

Okay let see My detailed reviews... First Impressions – Looks and Feels Solid! Right when I unboxed the Aiyima A80, I could tell it was a step up from their older stuff. The metal body feels sturdy, not cheap, and the knobs (volume, bass, treble) turn nice and smooth, no wobbly junk here. The LCD screen is a game-changer! It actually shows what's going on—input, volume, even the Bluetooth codec. No more guessing if you're on the right setting. The lcd could be better with better colors Well go áreas to the sound test I test this amp with my Sony and pioneer speakers and let me told you those Came Alive! I hooked this little beast up to two of my favorite budget bookshelf speakers: 1. Sony SSCS5 (bright and detailed) 2. Pioneer BS22-LR (warm and smooth) With the Sony SSCS5: - The highs were crisp but not harsh—the treble knob helped tone down the Sony's sometimes sharp sound. - Vocals sounded super clear—like Norah Jones was right in the room. - Bass was tight and punchy, but don't expect earthquake-level lows without a sub. With the Pioneer BS22-LR: - These speakers love power, and the A80's 80W (at 4Ω) made them sing. - Jazz and acoustic tracks (think Diana Krall) sounded full and rich. - The bass boost added just enough oomph without making things muddy. Bluetooth? Way better than I expected! Streaming from Spotify/Tidal sounded almost as good as wired. No lag for movies either. This is a good difference between this to the a07 model that sound great too.. --- A80 vs. A07 Max – What's the Upgrade? I've got the Aiyima A07 Max too (great little amp), but the A80 is definitely better: - LCD screen (A07 has nada—just a tiny light) - Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 (A07 needs a dongle or a Bluetooth received with dac... - Optical input (perfect for hooking up to a TV) - Bass & treble knobs (A07 is just volume) - Cleaner sound (less hiss at high volumes) The A07 Max is simpler (just RCA in, no frills), but the A80 is like the upgraded version, more features without losing sound quality. Well, my Final Thoughts – Worth Buying? If you want a small, powerful, do-it-all amp that makes budget speakers like the Sony SSCS5 and Pioneer BS22LR sound way better than they should, the Aiyima A80 is a killer deal. It's not "high-end audiophile" level, but for the price? It's insane. Who's it for? - People who want Bluetooth + wired options - TV/movie lovers who need optical input - Anyone upgrading from a basic amp (like the A07) who wants more control Who should skip it? - If you only need RCA inputs, the A07 Max is cheaper. - If you need crazy power (for huge speakers), look at bigger amps. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – Best budget amp I've used this year! 🔥 (Pro tip: Add a small subwoofer if you want more bass. The A80 handles 2.1 setups like a champ!)

I have a vintage Adcom System with a GTP 500 Pre-amp/tuner and a GFA 5300 power amp. I was looking for an affordable pre-amp with blue-tooth , and remote, with no success and thought I would try the A80. Certainly, the A80 has newer technology than my old GTP 500 and I'm very happy with the sound quality...I'm outputting to the power amp through the AUX output and it seems to work great. The GFA 5300 power amp (rated at 85 w per channel) easily powers (3) pairs of speakers ( Elac Debut 6.2, PSB T4 towers, and Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelf speakers, all selectable via the ADCOM selector box. I added a multi in RCA input selector box for CD, Tape, and RCA 3.5 inputs (have not hooked up turntable yet) So...the system sounds great!! whether Bluetooth or line input for iPhone or iPad, and the A80 remote is a great addition / convenience. I did not want the A80 power supply always on so I added a switched power strip for that and the power amp. I did not try the "power amp" output of the A80 but I'm sure to use that down the road. Pros for the A80...Affordable, great remote, many display options, great DAC (tone control)... Cons...Display on the small side, limited RCA inputs, no balance control, a bit pricey? All in all a great addition / upgrade to my vintage system and output from my existing speakers is amazing!

I’ve been using the Aiyima A80 for about a week now, and I’m really happy with it. I was looking for an all-in-one amp with good sound quality and enough input options to connect to multiple sources, and this one checked all the boxes. The sound is clean and detailed, and it drives my Kanto Yu 5.25” speakers with no problem. I’m not an audiophile, but I can definitely hear the difference compared to the small amp I was using before. The built-in DAC is also a nice bonus—it makes music from my computer sound noticeably better. Bluetooth works well, and I like that it supports higher-quality codecs. The display is a nice touch, although it’s a bit small from across the room. Still, it looks good and doesn’t feel cheap, but the sensitivity is low and requires ample volume to really visualize the effects. Overall, this is a great amp for the price. If you want something compact that still delivers good sound and has a lot of input options, I’d recommend giving it a try.

So many good things to say about this amp. The noise floor is very low compared to my 2010's Pioneer receiver; with the volume 100%, I could not hear any hiss, this was one of the first things I immediately noticed. I compared this amp to the 3E A7 and the (2x) Fosi V3 mono blocks, both of these amps have two TPA3255 amplifier chips compared to the Aiyima which has only one. The Aiyima gets just as loud as these other amps because these other amps are limited by gain, not by power. The only time their higher power rating comes into play is if you're cranking the bass, or driving a low ohm subwoofer. For running main speakers you won't notice any added power or volume using a these amps with dual TPA3255 vs. this amp with a single TPA3255. I did notice a slightly fuller sound with the E3 A7 amp, but barely perceptible. I eventually did go with the A7 instead of the A80 because the A80 does not turn on when power is turned on, and I didn't want to have to manually press power each time. The auto off feature turned the power off even at low listening volumes. Another reason I didn't keep the A80 is because I use an Amazon Fire stick TV for streaming, and the Fire stick remote doesn't have an IR profile for Aiyima. To get around this I built an IR Translator using an Arduino. I have a youtube video, software download, and 3d printable housing if you are interested. Still I think the A80 is an amazing product. It has balanced inputs which I used to connect an upgraded DAC and room correction EQ (Arc Studio). I love that this has bass and treble adjustments, and there is a bass treble button on the remote, you don't have to dig through menus to access them. The display looks nice. It doesn't run as hot as the E3 A7, despite being smaller size. The size stacks up perfectly with my SMSL D6s DAC and Arc Studio EQ.

I am no audiophile but I have a plex server and plexamp for listening to my >1000 albums, and >100,000 songs. I was using a Sony 7.1 home theater receiver that I set to stereo, but it sounded a little muddled. I bought this and man what a difference! The sound is clear and crisp, and it has true stage presence...I listen to this little beauty every day and to think this little amp is more powerful than my Sony (early 2000's) receiver that was at the time the most powerful receiver you could buy. I like you can adjust bass and treble from the remote (but what if I lose the remote?) and the sound bar's are an extra bonus. If you are on the fence about this thing, don't be...It out performs the other guys who cost twice as much! It's compact size let's me put it on top of my speaker (using a rubber mat for isolation) and I am using floor standing 3-way speakers and they are so much more alive with this thing. Don't hesitate you wont be sorry! Incredible value for money and easy to setup and use!

I recently decided to simplify my audio setup, and the Aiyima A80 integrated amp has been a game-changer. Instead of juggling multiple components, this compact all-in-one unit does it all—combining a high-quality TPA3255 amplifier and ES9038Q2M DAC into one very capable device. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to its wide range of inputs and outputs. A nice feature is the included 48V 5A GaN power supply, which pairs well with the amp. I was initially concerned about possible heat buildup, but so far, it's been running cool and stable. Connecting my streamer via the optical cable that came with the A80 has resulted in clean, distortion-free sound—just what I was hoping for. To my ears, the A80 delivers tight and controlled lows, clear and natural mids, and crisp highs that never feel harsh. Whether I'm listening to jazz, rock, or classical, it creates an engaging and fatigue-free listening experience. The rated 120W per channel output drives my JBL 100 speakers without effort, and the built-in tone controls let me fine-tune the treble and bass to my individual tastes. I also like that the 3.5mm Aux output gives me the option to connect an active subwoofer, although I have not yet added that to my system. One of the great features is the display—it’s a really fun touch! The VU meter and spectrum analyzer mode add some flair (I’m partial to the spectrum analyzer), making it not just an audio device but a visual centerpiece of my setup as well. The remote that came in the box allows me to easily switch VU modes from the comfort of my listening position. All in all, Aiyima has delivered a fantastic, affordable Class D amp that does a good job balancing functionality, performance, and aesthetics. The solid build quality with well-placed ventilation holes, quality chipsets and PFFB circuitry tells me this amp/dac is designed to last. I am very happy with my decision to make the switch!

Everything but the coax worked or I would have given an even lower score. Real shame too. It(they) sounded good on inputs, like the Bluetooth. The rca was good and the optical cable worked too. the coax didn't work at all on the first and very limited sporatic cuts in and out on the second one. I gave up. I was afraid Amazon might not refund if I tried another one. They weren't wanting to refund the second unit until I had them call me. The man on the other end of the call helped get the refund process started. Hoping it all goes through and back on the card. I really liked the unit, shame that the coax didn't work and it was necessary for my player. And yes the player and cable are working fine. I'm listening to music on a different dac & amp as I write this.....

I bought this to replace a Fosi DA-2120C which happens to be made by Aiyima. Installation is straight forward almost identical to the Fosi. I just unplugged my cables from the one and into the other....except for the subwoofer out. The Fosi has a dedicated RCA out for the sub and the A80 has a 3.5mm output jack which required me to buy a 3.5mm to female rca adapter (see my pictures). The output on that jack is lower than on the Fosi so I had to increase the sub gain to hear it. I took a star away because it didn't come with a dedicated rca out or include the adapter to use the low level output. Honestly I almost sent it back because of this. The sound quality is much better than the Fosi, however, since this has the newer chipsets I expected for it to sound better. The dynamic range and sound stage is much better with everything I've listened to so far. The display is bright enough to be clearly seen with a light on, however, the VU meters barely move when I play music. The spectrum graph doesn't move at all when I play music unless I really turn it up which is beyond the volume that I use. Aiyima really needs to recalibrate the meters so they are useful at any listening level. Another thing missing is auto on when a signal is present. I use the toslink optical in and have to manually power it on, although it does has auto standby if no signal is present for 5 minutes. The unit size is more compact than the Fosi but it is taller but still clears my monitor. The power supply is GaN so it should run cooler with lower losses. I haven't connected anything via BT yet so I cannot comment on it. The amp itself runs on the hot side and after its been on a few minutes you can feel the heat radiating from the top of the case. I'm searching for a cooling fan that will work with it. All in all its not a bad amp and I hope I get many years of use out of it.

I’ve been using the Aiyima A80 amp since December 2025. Since my room is quite small, I decided not to go for the 48V/10A power supply upgrade, as I simply don’t need the extra output. Instead, I focused on a couple of upgrades that I’d consider “must-have.” First, Aiyima offers a display upgrade at no extra cost. I reached out and got one installed. It’s not a game-changer in terms of sound, but it definitely improves usability and overall experience. The second upgrade was swapping the stock NE5532 op-amps for LM4562NA. This was easily the best decision. The improvement is immediately noticeable—more detail, wider soundstage, and better depth compared to the original setup. There are plenty of amps across different price ranges, but the LM4562NA is a stable, obvious, and budget-friendly upgrade that just works. The Aiyima A80 is an excellent amp that I can confidently recommend. Just don’t overlook op-amp rolling—it’s not optional in my opinion, it’s essential. Enjoy!

Très bon ampli , les basses ,aigus et médium tout est bien en place , les voix sont très bien retranscrite . Couplé à des dynaudio émit II 10 qui demandent beaucoup de courant cette ampli Aiyima A80 s’en sort très bien et les alimentent sans problème . Je possède aussi l’Aiyima D03 qui est aussi très bon , l’A80 chauffe beaucoup comparé au D03 surtout lorsque l’on laisse allumer l’écran avec l’equaliser ou les 2 autres au choix disponible C’est vraiment la seule chose que j’ai à reprocher à çette ampli . tester avec d’autres enceinte de 4 olhms contre 6 pour les dynaudio l’ampli chauffe tout autant . Donc a voire dans le temps mais sinon je conseille vraiment çette ampli qui a un son excellent et qui vaut bien des amplis de class AB bien plus coûteux .

This is the perfect little amplifier for my needs. I play FLAC files that I have on my android tablet (connected via a OTG USB-C to USB-C cable) and it seems to drive the A80 quite well. Sound quality, to my ears is very pleasing, it's hard to fault this amplifier. The displays mimicking of analog style VU meters adds a nice touch. Don't let the low price and the class D config put you off buying this amp, it's a seriously good amplifier with more than enough power to drive most speakers to 'loud enough' levels. I have spent 10's of thousands on hifi gear over the years seeking the perfect sound.. never been fully satisfied with the outcome, so with this amp I settled for 'good enough' and I have been more than happy with my decision.

I have been a happy user of Aiyima A07Pro (it's going to my teen's bedroom), so I am not new to the D-Class amps party and knew what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised though - the A80 elevates the experience to another level. Sound quality Aiyima, from the times of the first A07, has always impressed with sound quality. Independent measurements of channel separation, distortion and noise level show excellent values, but the load dependency always lurked in the shadows. Fear no more - the post filter feedback loop tackles those as well. In the end you get a pocket amplifier with reference quality. Amplifier has enough precision to drive speakers at a lower volume, but there also is enough punch in this little guy to shake even my relatively big room. Features and quality Not only is the sound excellent, but the overall feel of the amp is great. Build quality is stellar - very nice weight to the unit, good haptics when turning the wheel. The display is big and clear as well, and it can get very bright too. The multitude of inputs is very impressive. You have regular RCA, as well as TRS for symmetrical analogue connection. There is coaxial and optical SPDIF. There is a subwoofer out. There is a good implementation of Bluetooth and my personal best - USB-C. Super Easy to Use with my phone! The most awesome thing is how easy it was to connect from my phone. Less and less phones have analogue audio output and it starts to become a nuisance. Not here - Bluetooth works well and thankfully is not visible unless you select BT as input (the nasty neighbor will not connect to your amp uninvited). I am however super happy how the USB connection worked. I used an ordinary USB-C <-> USB-C cable to connect - and without any fuzz, configuration or going through options - fantastic sound from the speakers. No BT losses, no noises from the cables. The digital sound goodness in all its glory. What not to like? There are a few very minor issues though. Two actually. The menu navigation is a bit awkward: there is no dedicated BACK button, and you have to double-push the volume dial to go back. You don't use it frequently, but when you actually have to, it is weird. Second issue I have is that the display won't turn off completely. You can turn the brightness down from 100% to 10% in 10 steps - so it is not annoying at all. An "auto-off" mode would be nice here though. Summary Overall, the Aiyima A80 is a great little amp that really delivers. It sounds fantastic, looks and feels solid, and has all the connections you could want. It's easy to use, especially with a phone, and packs enough power for serious listening. Sure, the menu could be easier to use and it’d be nice if the display could turn off completely, but those are small complaints. If you want a powerful, great-sounding amp without spending a fortune, the A80 is a smart buy.

Poca spesa tanta resa, preso per gioco, premesso che ho anche wiim amp pro, casse monitor audio bronze, ho sostituito operazionali e alimentatore ed migliorato ulteriormente, bello Ariosto, alta in evidenza, forse il basso non è così veloce e articolato come il wim, ma timbricamente piacione, alla fine tra amp, alimentatore e operazionali arrivi a circa 320 euro, direi comunque ancora ottimo, per chi ama gamma alta dolce ariosa e in evidenza consiglio, non aspettatevi potenza devastante, fa il suo al limite di sopportazione vicini...
